it is so wild to me the fashions that are called “emo” today. especially given the fact that probably 80-90% of it is actually scene, not emo. this would have started full on wars 15 years ago
whenever people call this
emo it drives me BANANAS. no! this is not how emos did their hair. this was a scene look!!! some people might have gone from emo to scene depending on their age when new trends happened but they’re DISTINCT
this is getting more popular so i want to clarify, the above are obv scene queens and were what all scene kids aspired to HOWEVER. all of this⤵️? absolutely would have been considered scene in the late 00s (all photos from searching “emo” on pinterest)
whereas these are more emo⤵️
you will note that the scene kids wear brighter pops of color, especially neon pink and green. there’s a lot of pop culture references, patterns and texture. miniskirts very popular, the more layered the better. the emo kids are more simple, the black skinny jeans are a staple obv and usually dark hair and a band shirt, maybe some stripes but not anything crazier than that in terms of patterns. maybe a few accessories, but not so many that you hear them coming from a few miles away.
now THESE three are more in the middle. personally, i would categorize the first as scene, and the #1 giveaway there is the domo necklace- a scene icon- and the multitude/stacking of accessories backs it up. the middle is harder- the front of the hair and band shirt suggest emo, but the pink, layering, and the hair bow are decidedly scene. i think you could probably call it either way but i would lean scene. the last one is also hard- the hair highlights and amount of accessories are more scene, but the color scheme, especially the silver and black for the accessories as opposed to patterns, make me lean emo.

when i was a kid i used to respond to the "glass half full/half empty" question by asking how the liquid in the glass got there in the first place. nobody ever gave me a chance to explain my reasoning so i'm doing it now
if you have a glass and it has some liquid in it, up to the halfway line, whether it is empty or full depends on what happened before the question was asked. if you started with a full glass and poured half out until only half remained, the glass is half empty, because if you continued pouring it would be fully empty. however, if you started with an empty glass and poured liquid from another container into the glass up to the halfway line, the glass is half full because if you continued pouring it would be all the way full. logical, no?
i was 13 years old when somebody finally told me it was supposed to be some kind of optimism/pessimism thing. i always thought it was a riddle that nobody let me solve
Okay but that actually goes really well with the metaphor. How did you get to where you are right now? Have things gotten better or worse? Does it seem like the trend is continuing?
Nobody's really an optimist or pessimist all the time, your outlook depends on the situation and how you arrived there.
OP I need you to understand you were not wrong. You are smart. Please please please understand that fact and I hope that you still keep your thinking style. There's just simply not enough people on this planet who can look at a question like this and think "well obviously you're only asking half the question". You're right and I hope you keep it up
To make OP's point more concise:
"Is the glass half empty or half full?"
"That depends. Are you emptying the glass, or filling it?"

“Here for a rematch?”
I swear, Zuko is like a dog with no concept of his actual size compared to others.

Guys I found it. The best comment to ever be on one of my posts.
Zuko is that Chihuahua that tries to fight everything and anything and Uncle Iroh is the dog owner who is constantly apologizing for him and trying to stop him/keep him calm and never succeeding
Thank you for @ing me because I want to talk about this, as a mother to small dogs. Here’s the thing about small dogs who try to fight with everything, they know exactly how small they are. This is in fact why they are like that. They bluster and snarl and bite, because they know they are tiny and they want to make sure you know that in spite of the fact that you could crush them, they will make it painful for you and it’s not worth the effort. And if they don’t do this, they assume you will crush them just because you can. Small fight-filled dogs are scared as shit and they’re not going to let that stop them.
And that’s exactly what Zuko is. He knows he has no power, no authority, no respect, and no support from his people, but he has determination and a willingness to fight and he’s not going to back down even when he has no chance, because if he backs down, no one will ever believe his snarl and his barking ever again. So he goes after an airbending master with fans because losing is better than backing down. He’s scared as shit and he’s not going to let that stop him.
This and the other response are like

Avatar fandom: “actually no wait hang on I can definitely use this to make you cry”
